GV II

Summer house in former private garden of Gyllyngdune estate, possibly used as a chapel but never consecrated. c1840s for the Revd William Coope, rector of Falmouth 1838-1870. Rubble with red brick dressings; fish-scale scantle slate gabled roof with exposed purlins, shaped and pierced quatrefoil and dagger barge boards with turned finials and pendants. Small cruciform, near rectangular plan with balustraded walk around it and serving as a bridge over a waterfront walk (in the style of a rustic cave) and linked to steps and walls giving access to Steps (qv) and tunnel to beach. Gothic Revival style. Central pointed-arched doorway with hood-mould, pair of planked doors and iron gate with scrolled crest to landward end. Flat-headed window to each side gable and to seaward end, all with hood-moulds and boarded up at time of survey; crosses above side windows. INTERIOR: well-detailed waggon roof with cross vault and moulded under-purlins and lower arched bracing. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: red brick balustrades between piers with stepped pyramidal caps around the building, winder steps down to path and wall with similar piers and balustrades continuing along the seaward side towards, and recessed parallel to the Steps (qv), giving access to the beach, and slightly beyond. HISTORY: the Revd William Coope was the "unchallenged pioneer" of Tractarianism within the Anglican Church in Cornwall. Prominent position on sea front.
